What Is Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor heating is a water-fed system where a series of pipes are channelled under the floor and are connected to a central heating system. This system is best suited to new floor constructions so it can be designed to hold the pipework effectively and ensure the heating doesn’t escape downwards. However, it can also be installed under existing floors.
Can Underfloor Heating Be Installed In Any Home?
There are a few contributing factors that need to be considered to ensure that you are able to have underfloor heating installed and which type best suits your property. Such as, there needs to be enough space to fit the system and you may have to elevate the floor level. Additionally, your current boiler will need to be checked to ensure underfloor heating is a valid option.
Having an underfloor heating installation is a popular choice where a kitchen or bathroom has tiles or wood flooring. Also, you can use this heating system under carpet and throughout the whole property.
When Is The Best Time To Have Underfloor Heating Installed?
The best time to install underfloor heating is during building works or when you are having new flooring fitted. This is because integrating underfloor heating is most efficient and cost-effective when the floors are already being renovated or replaced. Installing the system beneath new floors allows for seamless integration, minimising disruption and avoiding the need to lift existing flooring. Additionally, doing it during major renovations ensures that the underfloor heating system is properly aligned with other construction elements, resulting in optimal performance and energy efficiency.
What Are the Benefits of Underfloor Heating?
Choosing underfloor heating offers numerous advantages, making it an attractive option for homeowners:
Energy Efficiency | Reduced Bills: Underfloor heating systems operate at lower temperatures than conventional radiators, which can lead to reduced energy bills and a more environmentally friendly home. The Energy Saving Trust (EST) claim that underfloor heating is more effective than radiators and therefore can reduce your energy bills.
Great with Renewable Energy: Underfloor heating works great with renewable energy systems such as heat pumps.
Space Saving: Without the need for radiators, you can maximise your living space, allowing for more flexible interior design.
Enhanced Comfort: The even distribution of heat eliminates cold spots, ensuring every part of your room feels warm and comfortable.
Improved Air Quality: Underfloor heating reduces the circulation of dust and allergens, making it a healthier choice for your family.
What Is The Cost Of Underfloor Heating?
The cost of installing underfloor heating can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the area, the type of system and the complexity of the installation. While underfloor heating can be a more significant initial investment compared to traditional heating systems, it often pays off in long-term energy savings and increased property value.
